Hi all...

We've been spicing up the Blog over the past few days and have added some new new video content  which we hope you'll take a look at...

In Equality:-

• "Bella & Tara" (posted 20/03/2009)

 

In Security:-

• "Think before you post" (posted 20/03/2009)

• "The Government's new approach to counter-terrorism" (posted 24/03/2009)

and then.... for a bit of fun, we also added all of the televised video coverage of our now infamous Cuban Cycle Challenge with the very kind permission of ITV's "This Morning" (posted between 10th - 15th March 2009) - you can see it all in Cycle Cuba.

As ever, your feedback is very important to us so please let us know what you think...

Dangers faced by Facebook & MySpace users

Facebook and MySpace are great sites for social networking and we know that you, like us, enjoy using them. 

Well, tonight, the BBC Watchdog programme aired a report on the very real threat of identity theft that is faced by Facebook and MySpace users.  Please read their Report on our Security pages and stay safe!!!

Threat level raised to Critical

Further to the recent terrorist attacks in Glasgow and London, the threat level for the UK has been elevated to that of Critical.

Please read our Security pages for updates and links to relevant security guides and websites.

New Security Site within our Weblog

As many of you may already know, the security threat level in the UK was assessed in August 2006 as  "Severe" which means that the security forces believe that an attack is highly likely and indicates a continuing high level of threat to the UK from international terrorism.

With this in mind, we have decided to expand our site to include more information on security within the pages of our weblog.  We thought it would be useful for you to have a number of security links to sites which are able to provide you with information on everything from the latest hand baggage restrictions when going on holiday to what to do in the event of an attack (which we hope will never happen)...

Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the new Security pages...
